President Paul Kagame is due to speak at the United Nations on Wednesday, AFP has learnt.
Democratic Republic of Congo President Felix Tshisekedi on Tuesday accused Rwanda of direct aggression, renewing charges as he addressed the United Nations.
“Despite my goodwill and the Congolese people’s outstretched hand for peace, some of our neighbors find no way to thank us other than supporting armed groups in the east of the Democratic Republic of Congo,” Tshisekedi said in a speech to the General Assembly.
It is not yet clear if Kagame will comment on DRC allegations.
A UN report seen last month by AFP found that the Rwandan military intervened against Congolese positions from November through June.
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken on a visit in August to Kinshasa also said there were “credible” reports of Rwandan involvement.
Rwanda, where memories of the 1994 genocide against Tutsis remain vivid, has denied the charges and vowed to defend its territory.
